So long ALPA. Thanks for the memories.

Nah, it's all about the Atlanta domicile. I wouldn't be able to hold it for a very long time. Somewhere around 8 years, maybe 5 under best case growth. I'm not interested in commuting again, and I have a business in Atlanta, so I couldn't do the commute even if I wanted to. I'd have stayed on working a minimum schedule if I could have held ATL, but that wasn't in the cards after the SLI raping and Gary's lies.

I was ATL-based for almost a year at my previous airline. Not a bad base, but hardly so good that one should quit the industry in the absence of holding it.

Atlanta is home. I have no interest in moving or commuting.

Pity.

Pity.

For those of us that chose not to commute and home is/was in our base, it is a pity that over the course of a year we'll be spending an extra month of nights away from home now (and for less money). I'm in my 14th year and have looked at other options. If ATL wasn't attainable in the relative near future (at least with this week's plan), I'd be seriously considering those other options and providing a spot for someone else to buy their type rating and get hired. If/when ATL closes because they can't/choose not to compete, we'll re - evaluate.

So you guys became airline pilots?
Knowing that you weren't willing to move?

Wonder why so many view the bitchers from air tran on this board as such amateurs?

Once again, your own unrealistic expectations about the industry cause you guys so much heartburn.

Dumbass, we went to work for an airline that had only one domicile: ATL. It was a pretty safe bet that we weren't going to get based anywhere else.

You shouldn't lose your seat or domicile in any merger.

It's basically the "Golden Rule," which some people live by and other less ethical
people love to quote but ignore.

Some things are just not worth it to some people. There is nothing wrong with that. The man has been smart enough to have a plan B. Everyone has their priorities. No need to bash someone if theirs is different than yours.

Poor Wave. Such a delicate flower.

"Many view" ....... ? Hmmmm. Do you have long round table discussions with your many like minded friends, regarding the nature of our professionalism ? Or are you merely a small minded, barely literate luddite, who stayed up well past his bedtime ?

Taking advice from you, is like taking dating advice from the happy ending care monkey guy.

Yup. Dumbasses pay for training. Bitch about rj's, and how other airlines have outsourced, but dumbasses take that rj job, then make dumbass excuses!
